Noelle found herself wandering the world together with this girl named Aedrianna. Although her memories told her she had never met this girl before. Something inside the mermaid said that she should stay close to her. And it was not the other voice, although it does seem to agree that staying close to the blonde girl was going to lead to some "Interesting" things to come. Although the tone of it did leave Noelle worried about what the voice meant by it. This has brought them to where this story starts. A marketplace in one of Ryken’s small cities. The two were walking through the market. Browsing around and having a good time. Noelle had gotten slightly peckish, so she offered to get some snacks for the two of them. But really, Noelle just wanted some sweet cinnamon rolls she saw at one of the stalls earlier. But as she stepped away to get the snacks. That was when it happened. A sudden tremor, and then the light of day started to fade as the market collapsed into a giant hole. The wind was rushing as Noelle fell down the hole. Debris from the world above is falling all around her. [COLOR=#B23AEE][I]"w̵a̷k̸e̶ ̵u̷p̵ ̴d̶a̶r̶l̸i̴n̴g̷"[/I][/COLOR] Noelle snapped to reality, realising the situation she was in. She was able to stabilise her positioning dodging some pieces of debris [COLOR=#B23AEE][I]"N̵o̶ ̶t̶i̷m̸e̸ ̵t̴o̸ ̵e̴n̴j̷o̸y̸ ̴t̸h̷e̷ ̵v̵i̵e̸w̵.̴ ̸w̷e̸ ̷g̴o̶t̴ ̷c̷o̴m̶p̸a̷n̶y̵"[/I][/COLOR] The voice suddenly announced. Sudden flashes of hardened chitin shot through the shaft. A quick examination Noelle was able to locate the source. With everything that had fallen from the surface, several hive bugs had also joined the freefall and were attacking things. [COLOR=#4876FF][I]"Shit! Shit! This is not good.

But it was only a matter of time until they did. She carefully pulled her instrument from her sack. A quick glance down revealed that there was no bottom in sight of this well yet. That meant she could fully focus on repelling the bugs for the time being. She was ready to cast a spell until she heard a familiar voice carried in the wind calling out her name. [COLOR=#4876FF][B]"MISS!?"[/B][/COLOR] Noelle yelled out and frantically looked around for Aedrianna. She quickly spotted the girl nearby gathering magical energy in her fingers and firing it towards the bugs. [COLOR=#4876FF][B]"MISS!!"[/B][/COLOR] Noelle adjusted her posture to move her towards her friend as one would move through water. Once she reached Aedrianna, Noelle placed her hands on Aedri’s shoulder [COLOR=#4876FF][B]"Calm down! It’s okay… i’m here"[/B][/COLOR] Noelle let go of Aedri’s shoulder and floats a little bit up, taking her harp in hand [COLOR=#4876FF][B]"Miss… quick! Cover your ears. This might hurt"[/B][/COLOR] She said before she screamed, unleashing [b][Bug repelling sonic blast][/b] a giant wave of high-pitched sound was blasted into the shaft aimed to blast the bugs in a fifty-foot radius around her out of the air. [COLOR=#4876FF][B]"That… That should do it for now"[/B][/COLOR] Noelle said catching her breath. She hoped this would avert the threat of the hive bugs for the time being.
